Is it possible to rebuild a relationship that has been broken?
An ancient Japanese art can serve as inspiration. By learning to highlight the beauty of imperfections, we can make every relationship shine again in a new light.
There is nothing more real and essential than trust for living well in a romantic relationship, within a family, or at work. Yet sometimes something breaks, a conflict, a fracture, a crack, and we end up holding the pieces of an important relationship in our hands.
In Japanese culture, kintsugi is an ancient technique that involves repairing an object using a mixture of lacquer combined with powders of precious metals, such as gold. Once applied to the cracks of the fragments, it gives life to something new, unique, and original. More precious.
Embracing the deeper meaning of this art, Gregorio Di Leo and Ashley Thompson invite us to become artists of relationships. To take risks and enhance our connections whenever cracks appear. It will not be easy or fast, and in some cases it may not even be painless. It is a journey of awareness, openness, and honesty toward the change that allows us to rebuild a relationship, embracing all its imperfections, without hiding them, and instead highlighting them to create new beauty.
A surprise for you!
We asked Yuko Inagawa, a master of the art of Kintsugi from Laboratorio Firenze, to show us the basic steps of this technique. A true tutorial to keep and put into practice whenever you like!
